That actually makes sense...There had to be a reason the top 3 people showed up as 3 big shadow people instead of color.
Yeah..well they will show up maybe at the end of Pokémon, (doubt that will happen anythime soon)

No-one really knows, but since I read snip-its off a Pokémon live script I thought Giovanni.
But I highly reckon D'elia knows but had split up before Ash was born. D'elia kept it as a secret for so long...

Quote from "I got a secret" From Pokémon Live

Mrs Ketchum (sings) "I could never tell him, what happend long a go, the truth about my past is something he should never know"

then misty blahblahblah---

Mrs K: "His whole life lies a head so much training to be done as his mother I protect the futre from my son"

Ash's dad is a huge secret but for all we know it could of been all revealed in the final episode at least...

I am of the opinion that:
a. Giovanni is Ash's father(unlikely in the games because Red=Ash more or less, and that scientist guy in Island Five, anyone?)
b. Prof. Oak is somehow related to Ash
c. Ash's father hasn't appeared yet, therefor rendering this entire conversation pointless

So, you're saying Ash's mom married a Pokemon? Does that mean Ash is part pokemon?

Giovanni, Professor Oak & Ho-Oh

Post by Pokémon Princess »

Here the summary but for serebii. Because we talk about this subject all the time.

Ash has to have a father, right? So who could it be? I've seen some very unusual, sometimes disturbing responses to this question, so in this section I'm going to list every rumored father of Ash Ketchum and tell which possible father makes the most sense.

GIOVANNI
Oooo, how Star Wars-y! Imagine the irony: Ash finds out that the head of the evil organization he's been fighting all through his Pokémon journeys is actually his daddy!

The proof: In Pokémon Live, Delia admitted her dark past. She used to go out with Giovanni back when he was starting a gang that would later become Team Rocket. Soon afterwards, she left him, married the mythical Mr. Ketchum and became the innocent little homemaker that she is today. But if Delia and Giovanni were a couple, couldn't that


also mean that they might have had a son? A son that wasn't born until after Delia was married to Mr. Ketchum? Could Ash really be the heir to the Team Rocket empire?

The argument: Sorry, too many plot holes in that story. First of all, Giovanni didn't start Team Rocket. His mother, known as Madame Boss, was the leader before he was. Secondly, Pokémon Live is purely American, so it has no meaning in terms of the Japanese cartoon. The cartoon Delia seems to have no knowledge of Giovanni. Also, there isn't enough of a resemblance between Giovanni and Ash. The only one seems to be that they both have black hair. The facial structure and voice are too different for Giovanni to be the father.


Professor Samuel Oak
Samuel Oak has been living so close to the Ketchum residence all these years, and a Mr. Ketchum has never been spotted in the series. Could it be that Professor Oak is the father?
The proof: LOOK AT HIM. Now imagine him several years younger. His hair color would be either black or a very dark brown, as you can see in the eyebrows. They have almost the same hairstyle. Oak seems to be close to Ash's mom... a little too close... and they both have tree names. Professor Oak also seems to favor Ash over his own grandson, Gary! Could it be because (dun dun DUN!) Samuel Oak is the father of Ash Ketchum?!

My brother pointed out that when Ash started his Pokémon journey, Delia told him how proud she and his father were. Professor Oak later told him how proud he was. Also, as if we didn't have enough proof, Gary told Ash that Professor Oak used to be a great Pokémon trainer. Well, Delia also said the same thing about Ash's father. Hmmm...

All have to get back to you on the Ho-Oh part.
Don't treat this
like my last breath
Don't treat this
like my last chance.
Don't treat me
like this is my last tet
Just don't treat my so bad
Treat my like this is the best
you ever had.

I don't think professor oak can be ash father.For one,why would a old man and a young woman go out??Also,ash favor's in being the best trainer and had no sign of being a pokemon reasearcher like pro.oak and gary.Meh...I think in the end ash will finally meet up with his dad,not knowing it and will battle his father with a bazaar ending.I also think that giovanni probally captured ash father and at the end when ash defeats giovanni,he'll find his father.Either that or his father died :roll: or he was probally there when the towers of ho-oh fell and probally died or went on a journey to find ho-oh.As you can see,there's many possibilities to this conclusion.I guess we'll have to wait like everyone else.I recall a guy in the orange cup that looked kinda like ash.He had a dragonite as his man pokemon,and his dargonites pokeball was on his necklece.I really think that's his father.
